Kirk's Day!

Kirk missed school Monday and Tuesday because he was SICK! He was so sad to be sick on his birthday (April 14th)! I took him to the Dr. to make sure he didn't have strep...he didn't! (Thank goodness!) They tested him for influenza B as well, he was fortunately negative with that too! He napped and vegged out all day and starting feeling better just as Daddy was heading home from work. HOORAY! Here is Kirk waiting to ambush his Dad with his new VULCAN nerf gun...it shoots little darts like a machine gun...COOL! this is the first time I saw this boy smile ALL DAY!

Daddy is ALWAYS such a good sport!

Earlier in the day Kirk told me he wouldn't be in the mood for birthday cake, so I decided I would make it another day, when he would want it. Well at about 5pm, he changed his mind, wouldn't you know it? So I threw his favorite cake together. It is birthday cake, GRANDMOTHER FAIRBANKS style! You can't go wrong with tradition!! This cake is a FAVORITE at our house!!

Yes, John was afraid of the sparkler candles..."Eecck, cake!" Wish I was afraid of cake! And here is a round of SILLY FACES in honor of Kirk's 10th birthday! We love you bud!
